Most AI visibility tools stop at diagnostics: they tell you your share of voice is low and leave you to work out why. Mentioned takes the opposite route. It maps your product across a profile built from up to ten pages rather than a single homepage, then crawls templates crossed with backlink intersections to assemble a candidate list of listicles, comparison posts and threads that decide how your category is framed.
Each candidate page is then read in full and the claims that would justify a pitch are checked against the current world: a listed product that has shut down, an acquired or renamed competitor, a dead link at position twelve, pricing that is now out of date, or the article's own stated inclusion criteria being met. Editor contacts are resolved through a seven-rung ladder that starts with the cheapest option and stops at the first one that survives the filters, with published bylines and author pages preferred over guessed email patterns. Addresses that bounce are retired across the whole network rather than resold.
The governance stance is unusually explicit. Mentioned never sends on your behalf and never asks for access to your inbox; you copy the draft and press send from your own mailbox under your own name. Competitors you name are never pitched for you and their pages are excluded from your results. Tracking pairs every page you pitch with a comparable page you did not, so the reported effect is only the difference the comparison can actually support.
